The best predictors of abuse were a history of violence in the husband's family of origin and substance abuse by the husband.

“…Aiming at comprehending violent behavior in relationships, many studies examine variables that are potentially associated with the phenomenon. Among them, adverse childhood incidents experienced in the family of origin are the risk factors most frequently studied (Fang & Corso, 2007, 2008Fehringer & Hindin, 2009;Fergusson, 2011;Godbout, Dutton, Lussier, & Sabourin, 2009;Jaoko, 2010;Wareham, Boots, & Chavez, 2009;Yoshihma & Horrocks, 2010). As per Stith and collaborators (2000), witnessing or suffering violent behavior within the familial environment as a child is related to experiencing intimate partner violence as an adult, both as a victim and as a perpetrator.…”

“…Nevertheless, the results of the studies reveal that the existence of adverse experiences in the family of origin is not a determining factor for the pattern to repeat itself in adulthood (Fang & Corso, 2007, 2008Fehringer & Hindin, 2009;Fergusson, 2011;Godbout et al, 2009;Jaoko, 2010;Wareham et al, 2009;Yoshihma & Horrocks, 2010). Several studies examine variables that mediate this connection; such variables include personality disorder characteristics (Liu et al, 2012;O'Leary et al, 2007), which are fre-quently analyzed from the standpoint of being related to violence between intimate partners (Costa & Babcock, 2008;Ehrensaft, Cohen, & Johnson, 2006;Fowler & Westen, 2011;Holtzworth-Munroe, Meehan, Herron, Rehman, & Stuart, 2003;Liu et al, 2012;Maneta, Cohen, & Schulz, 2013;Thornton, Graham-Kevan, & Archer, 2010).…”

“…Os dados de prevalência são diversos, conforme o contexto investigado. Resultados indicam que, ao redor do mundo, entre 22% e 49,5% das mulheres reportam algum episódio de abuso experienciado por parte de seus companheiros (Ansara & Hindin, 2009;Fehringer & Hindin, 2009;Jaoko, 2010;Stenson & Heimer, 2008;Yoshihma & Horrocks, 2010). No Brasil, os levantamentos estimam que entre 26% e 34,5% das mulheres sofrem violência física ou sexual por parte de seus companheiros (Bruschi, Paula, & Bordin, 2006;Lamoglia & Minayo, 2009;Miranda, Paula, & Bordin, 2010;Vieira, Perdona, & Santos, 2011).…”

“…Os índices gerais de violência física cometida contra o parceiro íntimo (25,4%) confirmaram a prevalência encontrada em pesquisas prévias em âmbito nacional e internacional (Ansara & Hindin, 2009;Fehringer & Hindin, 2009;Mathias et al, 2013;Meekers et al, 2013;Jaoko, 2010;Stenson & Heimer, 2008;Strauss, 2008;Yoshihma & Horrocks, 2010). Entretanto, a prevalência dos casos de violência grave (7,6%) foi superior aos índices referidos por Strauss (2008;1996;, questionando a conclusão do autor de que este tipo de dinâmica violenta é um fenômeno raro.…”

“…Mundialmente, pesquisas revelam que entre 22% e 49,5% das mulheres reportam alguma experiência de abuso vivida por parte de seus companheiros afetivos (Ansara & Hindin, 2009;Fehringer & Hindin, 2009;Jaoko, 2010;Meekers, Pallin & Hutchinson, 2013;Stenson & Heimer, 2008;Yoshihma & Horrocks, 2010). No Brasil, segundo dados da OMS (2005), uma em cada três mulheres afirma já ter sofrido algum tipo de violência cometida pelo parceiro.…”
